COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — New figures show revenue rose slightly at Ohio's four voter-approved casinos in May compared with the previous month.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission's Monday report says the facilities had nearly $71.2 million in combined revenue last month, up from about $69 million in April. Together they have brought in more than $346 million so far this year.

The month-to-month increases ranged from less than 1 percent at the Toledo casino to just over 5 percent for Columbus, which logged more than $18.3 million in May revenue.

Federal officials' review of the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old black man by a white police officer as he carried an air rifle in an Ohio Wal-Mart remains unfinished as his relatives plan a rally and vigil to mark one year since his death. Get the story.
